Abstract

A total of 15 taxa of eukaryotic algae and cyanobacteria were identifi ed on diff erent surfaces in various artifi cial environments in the town of Körmend, W Hungary. Th e lowest possible taxonomic level was used to identify the organisms. Th e most common taxon was Apatococcus lobatus, which occurred in 6 out of 9 sampling sites. Gloeocapsa novacekii, Gloeocapsopsis dvorakii, and Hassallia byssoidea, which have rarely been mentioned in Hungary, were also common in Körmend. Th e green basal part of the Körmend Millennium Monument was found to be the most diverse habitat with 8 taxa. Research on terrestrial algae is important from both a scientifi c and a conservation standpoint, especially given the ongoing global biodiversity crisis. Contributing with new data to the knowledge on microbial diversitywould help to better understand and protect terrestrial microbial communities.
